Yamazaki 2021 Limited Edition Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a warm honey-bronze glow.

Nose

Elegant sandalwood and incense open the nose, with a creamy veil of vanilla and coconut. Dried apricot and orange blossom lend warmth, while Mizunara spice—cinnamon, clove, a whisper of cedar—threads through the malt. Waxy, refined sweetness and a hint of tobacco linger, leaving a plush, exotic finish.

Palate

Silky and luxurious on the palate, this Yamazaki unfurls vanilla and honey with a creamy body, then blooms with virgin Mizunara spice - sandalwood, incense, and a whisper of coconut. Orchard fruit sweetness threads through toasted oak, while refined tannins lift the finish. The finale is long and aromatic, leaving a resonant note of spice, cedar, and resin.

Finish

An elongated finish washes over the palate with warm sandalwood and delicate incense, carried by vanilla-soft sweetness and a whisper of Mizunara spice. Subtle oak resin, cedar, and toasted coconut linger, weaving a refined, silky fade that hints at distant smoke and citrus zest, leaving a graceful, lasting balance.
